The IDS and IPS features are valuable. From the usability perspective, there is a lot of good documentation. As IT professionals, we found it very easy to configure the firewall. It was easy to configure and use.

I have found the solution has some great features overall, such as guest access capabilities, dashboards, and ease of use. There is plenty of documentation and support and it has the plugins that I needed.

We did not like the fact that you have to configure everything with the graphic user interface. We have used other firewalls, such as FortiGate, that you can configure via code. OPNsense is not easy to integrate. When you are deploying via GitHub or another source repository, this is not possible. That's one thing we didn't like much.

An area for improvement in OPNsense is the hardware, which needs to be updated more frequently.
DNS blocking is another good feature I want to be added to the solution.
pfSense has a peer-blocking feature that I also want to see in OPNsense.

The interface needs to be simplified. It is not user-friendly.

While they do have paid options that actually gives better features, for most of the clients, if they tend to take a paid option will instead opt for Fortinet.
